A wise man among the ignorant is as a beautiful girl in the company of blind men.

Whoever acquires knowledge but does not practice it is as one who ploughs but does not sow.

No one ever sowed the grain of generosity who gathered not up the harvest of the desire of his heart.

He will deal harshly by a stranger who has not been himself often a traveller or stranger.

Tell no one the secret that you want to keep, although he may be worthy of confidence; for no one will be so careful of your secret as yourself.

When you see contention amongst your enemies, go and sit at ease with your friends; but when you see them of one mind, string your bow, and place stones upon the ramparts.

I have never seen a man lost who was on a straight path.
